...outset, Androcles' name in Greek-alphabet capitals hovers over the stage. A yellow scrim hangs in front, with sunflowers traced on it. As Tharon Musser's lighting changes, suggestions of a lion's head appear; and shortly some slinky jazz with a perky clarinet over a tonic-dominant ostinato ushers in the Lion (Ted Graeber) with a lioness (Jane Farnol). The two animals perform a semidance pantomime, until the Lion gets rid of his partner. Shaw's script calls for no lioness, but this seems a quite acceptable bit of directorial padding. When alone, the Lion does some pushups, indulges...
...Tennessee Wiliams' own plays. "I am in a net of con men," read the hastily scrawled letter the playwright had written to his brother Dakin. "If anything of a violent nature happens to me, it will not be a case of suicide, as it would be made to appear." That sounded ominous, and everybody grew more worried when Williams disappeared from his Manhattan apartment. Reporters finally located him last week at his house in Key West, refusing to talk about anything. "He must have had a bad scare," judged Dakin. Tennessee's mother, Mrs. Edwina Williams, 86, took...
...stylized like Egyptian statues, and not divinities." To account for them, Grosjean has had to reconstruct an obscure artistic period. His starting point was a mysterious Mediterranean "People of the Sea," who left dome-shaped temples on Corsica, Sardinia and elsewhere in the Mediterranean. Identified as "Shardanes," they appear on an 1190 B.C. bas-relief in an Egyptian temple in Medinet Habu wearing horned helmets (the Corsican menhirs have helmets with holes that may have once been filled with horns). A likely conclusion: the Shardanes built the menhirs. Scratching the Surface. Elementary but wrong, decided Grosjean. Why would the Shardanes...
...suit with a blue choker and helmet. Rosaline (Denise Huot), in a navy blue suit and white boots, also arrives on a Honda (which, at the opening performance, nearly sailed over the footlights and into the audience), while the other two ladies, Maria (Kathleen Dabney) and Katherine (Marian Hailey), appear on foot. The Princess' courtier Boyet (Thomas Ruisinger), in a blue jacket with yellow handkerchief, white ducks, bow tie, and black-and-white shoes, is a U.S. Southerner with a duly droll drawl...
When the four nobles appear disguised as "Muscovites," they have white satin trousers and tall black-fur headgear with chin straps, and disport amusingly like a quarter of Don Cossacks. The messenger of sad tidings, Mercade (Barry Corbin), turns out to be an ambassador complete with chest decorations, attended by a pair of underlings carrying umbrellas and the indispensable attache cases...
